astronautery and lion taming are good. i'm both of those as well as a bull fighter, jet pilot, hand model, and a bunch of other things. in the meantime submit shirts and try to live off threadless.

Thanks everybody for the support!

I am feeling a bit better already.

Good luck. I work in Real Estate and am lucky I'm valuable enough that my boss sees it fit to keep me around. I'm sure you'll find something soon. :) Good luck and best wishes.
